Apple is known for its beautiful, simple product design. Minute MBA lays out how to replicate that, based on five basic rules.
As we all know by now, Steve Jobs was a notorious perfectionist, but that’s not the only reason iPads and iPhones almost sell quicker than Apple can make them. There are also some specific principles to abide by in terms of aesthetics and quality. Looks like the only one they forgot was “ignore everything Forstall did.” [OnlineMBA]













WSJ: Apple Is Testing Designs for a TV
The Real Meaning and Future of Apple's Mantra: Designed in California
Apple Has Trademarked the Design of its Stores
That was pretty nice.
Braaaaaaaaaains! Must…..have……braaaaaains.
Is this ANOTHER advert for Apple?
This ‘Advert’ for Apple makes me want to find an Iphone owner, and then punch him In the face. Then, I would like to ‘take’ his Iphone (lets face it, he won’t put up much resistance because he will most probably be a coward) and then insert it into his rectum.
Why? Because they appreciate more than just its specs?
It’s more than appreciating it. If the presenter was a man he would have a massive erection while he was doing it. She probably has a mannequin made out of Iphone/Ipad parts that looks like Steve Jobs.
Probably because it is an interesting subject and has been proven to work.
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Smoke and mirrors or not, it works and, at least for me, is quite interesting.
What the hell are you going on about?
Advocating violence against someone because you chose to watch a video you didn’t agree with, and because they use an iphone?!
I think someone should punch you in the face, just on principle, and nothing to do with your choice of phone. You knob!
i own an iphone. want my address big man?
(disclaimer, i didnt buy it, i got it bought for me from work, when it dies i will not be buying an apple replacement.)
This holds true for another video http://i.imgur.com/k3D4H.jpg
Oh, god, I like an iDevice as much as the next man, but the sycophancy on display there made me feel physically queasy.
How to design like Apple? Simple, make it shiny and keep it simple. Ofcourse target market is mostly people who care less for Apple products could do for the price they pay and pay more for the appearance (ooooooh shiny) and simplicity for non-techy imbeciles. See, it’s pretty straight forward and simple!
I really don’t understand why it’s wrong to make something simple that looks nice for people who don’t know and/or care about specs. And calling them imbeciles is uncalled for, just because they don’t know about tech doesn’t make them any less intelligent than anyone who does.
Just a rant my friend, no hard feelings
You realise re-sale value makes Apple products cheaper in the long run.. right?
No, because Apple products are overpriced to begin with for what they offer to do.
